I have to say that having seen this in the flesh recently, it has been done to an extremely high standard.

If the car you are thinking of is white, and not a Cooper you may well be right, that was the story that emerged when I owned it, unfortunately I could never prove it as despite being able to request the details of the previous owners everything that came through from its early life was redacted
I still have a key set for it somewhere (for the Landar locks), it popped up on eBay years ago in quite a state, it was a running / driving car when I had it (my daily for a while
)

Please can I request that there is no further discussion of this particular car.
It will only lead to grief for me.

This thread is getting far too "Two luscious lovelies in one image" for my liking, so here are a few pics of Spike Milligan in some of his Minis.

My guess is that is The Move from around 1966.
